I would say it varies with the terrian you travel.  I carry a Leatherman Micra as a daily carry.  I use the scissors at least evey other day in an office environment.    Sometime I use them to cut but I also use them as pliers, knife, etc.  Then I use the knife blade.<br><br>I have a Leatherman Wave for outdoor activities.  I use the saw and knife blades.  I like the cross cut file for shaving and shaping wood carvings.<br><br>The more urban your travels, the more likely to use the screwdrivers and pliers.  There are times that scisssors are a better tool for the task than a knife.  Pliers can be used to create lots of neat things.  Very useful.
